Whispers in the Smoke

I should have known
that this would go wrong

that you wouldn't be able to
to leave me

I should have know
that you would shatter me

that I wouldn't ever
be the same

I tell myself I didn't know
that I didn't see it coming

but when I look back
I know all the signs were there

They say intuition comes in a moment
like a flame to light the fire

but I smothered it 
before it had a chance to spark

I should have known
and now the smoke comes back to haunt me.
